Oregon: Word change by judge on flouride initiative
Sometimes minor changes can make all the difference. After a hearing at the Benton County Courthouse on Thursday morning, Circuit Judge Locke Williams revised the language of a proposed Philomath ballot measure that aims to restore fluoride to the city’s water supply. Williams didn’t change much: He added one word to the question and summary that will go before Philomath voters if backers succeed in getting the initiative on the ballot.
